A Skyline school bus side-swiped a parked vehicle Tuesday after police say the bus driver tried to pass the car that was blocking traffic.
According to Pinal County spokeswoman Vanessa White, the bus driver attempted to pass the vehicle by entering a grassy area next to the road after the K-8 school was released near the intersection of Hunt Highway and Gary Road in Queen Creek. The bus was traveling at about 5 miles per hour when it hit the car parked in the roadway.
No major injuries were reported, but White said about six children complained of hitting their heads on the seat in front of them or on a window of the bus.
Two children were taken in ambulances to local hospitals. One was a 10-year-old boy who said his foot and knee hurt and the other was a 9-year-old girl who said she had pain in her neck, shoulder and abdomen.
All other children were taken to another bus that would drive them home.
An investigation is ongoing.
